NEW sections have been started at Shaw Primary School to give young people from the area an opportunity to join their local Scouts group.
Twenty-four Beavers and ten Cubs made their Scout Promise on Thursday, May 10, and were presented with their scarves and invested into their sections.
There are four Lodges in the Beavers and two Sixes in the Cubs. Leading the sections are three Leaders and six Section Assistants plus a parent on the Executive Committee.
The sections are a satellite of the 1st Bowerhill Scout Group and members of the District Team, District Commissioner Chris Broom and Assistant District Commissioner Beavers Anne Cranham, have been mentoring the sections over the past few months.
Chris Broom said: “It is very exciting times with inspiring programmes, amazing leaders and volunteers with an abundance of youth involvement.
“The Beaver Colony is full and are taking names on their waiting list, while the Cub section have vacancies.”
For more details and to join the adventure, please contact either Craig Murray cjbmurray@live.co.uk for the Beavers or Andy Asquith andyjasquith@gmail.com for the Cubs.
